Storage and Rainfall Update

Rainfall recorded at South Gippsland Water’s storages from 1 February 2020 to 7 February 2020 was Lance Creek 19mm, Ruby Creek 28mm, Deep Creek 22mm and Battery Creek 20mm.

South Gippsland Water’s Managing Director, Philippe du Plessis said that, “the intermittent rainfall coupled with customers water saving efforts have resulted in storages remaining at satisfactory levels as we progressed through the summer months.

The Corporation are monitoring storage systems and river flows. Mr du Plessis continued “South Gippsland Water Permanent Water Saving Rules are in place across Victoria all year round to assist in water conservation. The top three rules to remember are:

1) Water between 6pm and 10am

2) Sweep, don’t hose – Hosing hard surfaces such as paths and driveways is not permitted

3) Install trigger nozzles – All outdoor hoses are required to be leak free and fitted with trigger nozzles
